Review Quotes: "Ligeia Quackelbeen's important book analyses legal history, criminal and international law theory, and interpretative methods in both criminal and international law. She brings these strands together in a sophisticated way to demonstrate that a robust version of the principle of legality can and should guide interpretation in international criminal law." --Kenneth S Gallant is Altheimer Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Bowen School of Law and Author of 'The Principle of Legality in International and Comparative Criminal Law'
